The Masked Rabbitfish or Decorated Rabbitfish has a pale white body with intricate yellow and blue wavy markings. It has a slanted black band that goes across both eyes. The dorsal fins when erect displays a pointed row of venomous spines.
The Masked Rabbitfish is a peaceful fish and great for controlling hair algae, but may nip at some types of soft coral, and not ideal for reef tanks. The Masked Rabbitfish can be housed with all types of fish because more aggressive fish will fear the venomous dorsal spines. In the wild they will swim in pairs and this can be achieved in the home aquarium as well, just be sure same species of rabbitfish are introduced simultaneously in a larger aquarium. Provide plenty of live rock for shelter and grazing.
Rabbitfish eat mostly vegetable matter and some small meaty foods. Try feeding your rabbitfish Ocean Nutrition pellets for a healthy diet.
